The Leader hit the bookies on Ladies Day on day two of the Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday tipping the last FOUR winners on the card returning a 41-1 accumulator – with each way selections also placed!

Altior (4-11) got the ball rolling when winning the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase, it being a record 18th consecutive win for the Nicky Henderson trained star, ridden to victory by Nico De Boinville.

“He had to have a little fight – but he made it exciting for everybody – including myself,” said jubilant Henderson.

“It was a cracking good race, but for me it was hell,” said Henderson.

Jockey De Boinville said: “What an absolute monster – aren’t we lucky to be in an age where he’s here.

“We should just celebrate him. He’s a phenomenal athlete – he doesn’t know how to lose.”

Leader selection Tiger Roll (5-4) romped to a 22 lengths victory in the Glenfarclas Chase, with French trained Urgent De Gregaine, a Leader each way tip running third.
